An Inverted Pyramid is a method of Journalism in which the writer tells the most important part of the story first then, tells other important details, and finally tells the least important part of the story. Inverted means upside down and the triangle is representing the pyramid. An Inverted Pyramid is important in Journalism because the reader could stop reading at any time.
If two teams played in a volleyball game you would want include who won, what teams played, and what the score was all in the first part or paragraph of the article. In the second paragraph you would include quotes, information that help understand, and other important facts. In the last paragraph you include general info or info that is nice to have.
Knowing to write in an Inverted Pyramid form is good to know in this class because if we tell the most important part first then the reader can get drawn in or know the information they were reading the article for. I will use Inverted Pyramid Structure to tell the reader what they wanted to know and make my stories interesting.
